"Choose wisely..."

This is the final blog dealing with "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade," I promise!! Near the end of the movie, the 800 year-old knight says to Dr. Jones and the others in the room when one of them remarks how many goblets there are... he said to them "You must choose-- but choose wisely...for as the true Grail gives eternal life, so the false one will take it from you."
We face a similar choice today. But just as Indiana Jones had the Grail diary to help him get to the choice, so we have a "diary" of our own to help us... the Holy Bible. It contains not 1,000 years of clues, but at least 6,000 years of clues to help us make the right decision-- to help be the "penitent man" who kneels before God... to step on the right stones to negotiate the Word of God-- by trusting in the Word Himself--Jehovah... (just remember-- in Latin, Jehovah starts with an "I"...) and to take the Path of God... Interesting that it said it would be a leap from the lion's head that would allow him to prove his worth. Today, we are saved because we leaped from the Lion's Head-- the Lion of the Tribe of Judah-- and took the Path of God to eternal life!! That Path was paid for by the blood of the Lion who looked like a lamb... a lamb who had been slain, according to Revelation.
However, we also have a choice of goblets. Many religions who promise all sorts of awareness and social goodness... or more soothing yet, that our works can somehow bridge the gap between the ledge and the chamber of eternal life. Remember, my friend.. only in a leap (of faith!) from the Lion of the Tribe of Judah can we take the path of God to eternal life!! At the end of this chamber there is but one to choose-- the Lord Jesus Christ...who says He provide the Water of Life freely to all who would take it...
You have a lot of goblets to choose from... but choose wisely... because in a leap from the Lion of the Tribe of Judah... you can take the Path of God to Eternal life!! And there won't be an 800 year-old knight studying a book with a sword when you get there... instead there will be the Lord of Glory saying "I knew you would come... Welcome home!!"
It is up to you to choose... but choose wisely... and "stay thirsty for Him...my friends..."
